Program Content
Industrial Engineering is one of the popular engineering branches of our age, which deals with the design, operation and management of systems that transform resources such as information, technology, manpower, raw materials, energy and capital into products, services and production. Unlike other branches of engineering, it treats a system as a whole instead of dividing it into its parts. In addition, it is a branch of engineering that is intertwined with social sciences because it deals with the human factor in all kinds of applications. Today, the increasing need for industrial engineers in parallel with the rapid advancement of technology makes it possible for industrial engineers to provide job opportunities in a wide range of sectors including production, service, logistics, science, telecommunications, health, tourism and consultancy.
Program Purpose
The aim of the Industrial Engineering undergraduate program is to train individuals who have the ability to think systematically, apply what they have learned to the problems they encounter in daily life and solve these problems, are equipped with basic Industrial Engineering knowledge and follow the developments in their field. In addition, it is to gain future scientists in Industrial Engineering who can make original, sustainable and original studies, as well as individuals who gain the knowledge and experience they will use in their professions, are entrepreneurial, self-confident, produce information and can transfer this information to other individuals.
Our vision is to train pioneering and sought-after Industrial Engineers who can establish modern management systems with new technologies and adapt to the changing world.
Our Mission: To train Industrial Engineers who provide the competencies required by Industrial Engineering, who can communicate rationally and meaningfully with other engineering disciplines they will work with, who can benefit from the opportunities offered by the current information world and who can keep up with this speed.
Language of Instruction
The language of instruction in the Industrial Engineering undergraduate program is 100% English.
Graduation Requirements
Successfully completing all of the courses available in the program (for a total of 240 ECTS) and having a weighted GPA of at least 2.00 out of 4.00 is the qualification requirement for graduation.

Why Industrial Engineering?
- Industrial Engineering is an engineering that provides development in all areas of life
- It covers information that every person can benefit from
- It is a branch of science that will always be useful from past to present, as it is engineering that considers people and increases efficiency
- Today, the limited resources and the rapid increase in consumption in the globalizing world make the need for Industrial Engineers who increase productivity and profitability even more important
